What to plant in November in Florida

Last time, my article was on a planting guide for October in Florida. I promised my regular readers, that I would come back with the November planting guide for Florida gardeners next month and here I am. In this article, I will let you know what to plant in November in Florida.

I know there are different climates in Florida according to the regions, thus I have categorized the planting calendar into three parts.

1. November planting guide for North Florida
2. November planting guide for Central Florida
3. November planting guide for South Florida

No matter where you live in Florida, you can use this planting guide.

The people new to my blog can check The full-year planting calendar for Florida.

Those who missed the November planting can go for the December planting.

I have a real passion for growing a variety of plants, from veggies and fruits to herbs and native species. So I divided this planting guide into some subcategories to choose the plants according to your choice.

1. Leafy greens
2. Roots and Vegetables
3. Flowering plants
4. Herbs

What to plant in November in North Florida

North Florida's climate is comparatively cooler in winter. This means it allows you to plant a variety of veggies and other plants that you can't usually plant in other regions. You should keep your eyes on the weather app in November if you are from North Florida.

I'll begin with the leafy greens and then move on to other plants.

Leafy greens to plant in November

I am only adding those plants to my list that can perform the best in North Florida if planted in November. There are plenty of other plants you can plant and grow in November but I can't include all those in a single article.

The harvesting time mentioned here is the mature regular harvesting time. If you want to harvest a bit earlier, that's totally fine.

Spinach is prone to water rot, so maintain a good water drainage system.

Kale is highly cold-tolerant, and if it happens to experience a light frost, you'll notice its flavor becomes even richer.

For collard greens, you may notice yellow leaves. Do not forget to remove those regularly. If you are a lazy gardener, I will suggest not to plant this.
